Re:Verse passage – Ephesians 4:1-6 (day seven)
walk in a manner worthy of the calling with which you have been called. vs 1b
You, Christian, have been called by God. Isn’t that a cool thought? The Creator of the universe has called you to follow Him. He created you. He knows you by name. He knows your every thought. This God loves and calls you! He doesn’t need you to do to be obedient before He loves you, nor does He love you because of your obedience. He loves you into obedience.
Lets flesh this out. If you have answered the call, you know how good this God must be to call you out of your messy life to follow Him. When you recognize this goodness, you will walk with Him and be obedient to Him. This obedience is not out of desire to earn more credit from Him, but simply out of gratitude for what He has done for you. That is what love is. That is what love does. Love is obedient!
